  2. Overspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overspeed

    The overspeed governor is implemented on most marine diesel engines. [4] The governor is a safety measure that acts when the engine is approaching overspeed and will trip the engine off if the regulator governor fails. [4] It trips off the engine by cutting off fuel injection by having the centrifugal force act on levers linked to the governor ...

  3. Weigh in motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weigh_in_motion

    Weigh-in-motion or weighing-in-motion (WIM) devices are designed to capture and record the axle weights and gross vehicle weights as vehicles drive over a measurement site. . Unlike static scales, WIM systems are capable of measuring vehicles traveling at a reduced or normal traffic speed and do not require the vehicle to come to a st

  4. Not-To-Exceed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not-To-Exceed

    In order for NTE standards to apply, the engine needs to remain within the NTE zone (limits include operation at a minimum of 30% of rated power) for at least 30 seconds. Concerns arose that performing this action could prove to be difficult, as each time the driver removes the foot from the accelerator pedal, or shifts gears on vehicles with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JCB_Dieselmax

    On 22 August 2006, after being re-fitted with 750 brake horsepower (560 kW) 'LSR' versions of the JCB444 engines, [2] the JCB Dieselmax car broke the official FIA diesel engine land speed record, attaining a speed of 328.767 mph (529.099 km/h). 24 hours later the JCB Dieselmax car broke its own record, achieving a speed of 350.092 mph (563.418 ...

  6. Compression release engine brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release_engine...

    Most diesel engines do not have a throttle body, so regardless of the throttle setting, air is always drawn into the cylinders (excluding the valve fitted to certain diesels, such as fire appliances and generators on oil and gas platforms, to prevent diesel engine runaway). The fuel-free air only mix that is compressed on the compression stroke ...

  7. Diesel engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_engine

    1952 Shell Oil film showing the development of the diesel engine from 1877. The diesel engine, named after the German engineer Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression; thus, the diesel engine is called a compression-ignition engine (CI engine).

  8. Diesel exhaust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust

    A diesel engine that operates below the smoke limit produces a visible exhaust. In modern motor vehicle diesel engines, this condition is generally avoided by burning the fuel in excess air even at full load. The primary products of petroleum fuel combustion in air are carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen.

  9. Navistar DT engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navistar_DT_engine

    The Navistar DT (Diesel Turbocharged or Diesel Turbo) engine family is a line of mid-range inline-6 diesel engines.With horsepower ratings ranging from 170 hp (130 kW) to 350 hp (260 kW), the Navistar DT engines are used primarily in medium-duty truck and bus applications such as school buses, although some versions have been developed for heavy-duty regional-haul and severe-service applications.
